Café table at a mechanics' yard in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. (Considering this cafe was at grease monkey central, the Google reviews that led me across the road from the bus station, very accurately summed the place up as a gem).

Travelling in Asia, I decided to err on the side of caution and assume all dogs have rabies. This cutie at the cafe spent considerable effort trying to convince me otherwise.

The first paragraph of this story spells out the looks I get from flight attendants with my meal pre-ordered meals. Most recently the Jain vegetarian meal I ordered on Malaysia Airlines. www.stuff.co.nz/travel/30102...

Kūmara for breakfast. Or at least the Vietnamese equivalent. Heaven after $12.99kg in New World all year.

Trip Advisor has offered me a very odd advert this evening.

This is behind the paywall, but a very good piece of writing from Matthew Hooten who, let's say, comes from a different political leaning to me. He has shown himself this election to be able to rise above his own politics: www.nzherald.co.nz/business/mat...

No explosions at the policy launch, but Fonterra have come under fire from commentators who say this initiative will do little to reduce actual on-farm emissions. @farmersweeklynz #cartoon #nzfarming #nzpol

Most useful piece of software (since I discovered Otter) is Microsoft PhoneLink. After a false start last year, it's upgraded and actually works well. I can now type texts to people at 100wpm instead of very tediously on my phone. Such a time saver for my work. apps.microsoft.com/detail/phone...

Don't judge a book by its cover. This morning on public transport the tattooed man next to me was wearing a black hoodie, with hood up, black tracksuit, and black crocs. After a few minutes he pulled out a lint roller and proceeded to lint roll his trackies and hoodie very thoroughly.

This was a labour of love article for me. It wasn't worth the time it took. I knew that when I decided to write it. But was super interesting to research.

Me: "I've interviewed [person 1], [person 2], and [person 3]." Editor. "THAT'S FANTASTIC. I've got pictures of all three." Not a single question about what they had said. :)

Almost feel happy for Chris Luxon. It must have felt like a cold beer after a hard day letting a sentence like this rip after spending an entire election campaign trying to approximate the speech of a regular human

Rod Oram nails it.
